Definitions
- the invention relates to neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes (NdBR) comprising > 95 wt% of cis-1 ,4 units and ⁇ 1 wt% of 1 ,2-vinyl content, based on the neodymium- catalysed polybutadiene, a process for production thereof, a rubber mixture comprising such NdBR and uses thereof.
- NdBR neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes
- Polybutadienes are used as important constituents of rubber mixtures in the tyre industry in order to achieve an improvement in final properties, for instance a reduction in rolling resistance and in abrasion value.
- a further field of use is in golf-ball cores or shoe soles, the primary concern in this case being a high rebound resilience.
- polybutadienes having a high fraction of cis-1 ,4 units have been manufactured on a large industrial scale and used for the production of tyres and other rubber products and also for impact modification of polystyrene.
- neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes within the group of high-cis polybutadienes have particularly advantageous properties with regard to rolling resistance, abrasion value and rebound resilience.
- the catalyst systems used play an important part in the production of polybutadienes.
- the industrially employed neodymium catalyst for example, is a Ziegler-Natta system, which is formed from a plurality of catalyst components. Catalyst formation involves the formation of mostly different catalytic sites, resulting in an at least bimodal molar mass distribution in the polymer.
- the familiar three catalyst components usually being a neodymium source, a chloride source and an organoaluminium compound, are mixed in various ways under defined temperature conditions to ready the catalyst system, with or without ageing, for the polymerization.
- the prior art discloses several processes for preparing Ziegler-Natta catalyst systems used in the production of polybutadienes.
- EP 0 127 236 wherein the catalyst is prepared by mixing neodymium oxides, neodymium alkoxides and carboxylates with an organometallic halide and also with an organic compound at a temperature of 20°C to 25°C.
- the mixing temperature for these four components may also be in the range from 50°C to 80°C.
- the mixture is cooled down to a temperature in the range from 20 to 25°C, at which point diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAH) is added. There is no mention of any ageing.
- DIBAH diisobutylaluminium hydride
- EP 1 176 157 B1 discloses a process for production of polybutadienes having a reduced ratio for solution viscosity/Mooney viscosity, wherein catalyst preparation is carried out with pre-forming. First the neodymium versatate is mixed with DIBAH and isoprene at 50°C, then this mixture is cooled down to 5°C, thereafter ethylaluminium sesquichloride (EASC) is admixed. Ageing can take from several minutes to several days at a temperature between 10°C and -80°C.
- EASC ethylaluminium sesquichloride
- Comonomers a bisdiene for example, are added during polymerization to enhance the branching of the polymers and thus also to obtain the very narrow ratio of solution viscosity/Mooney viscosity.
- the branched polymer obtained in the process has at least four free chain ends per molecule due to the coupling via the bisdiene, whereas linear molecules have just two chain ends.
- the number of chain ends in a polymer has a direct correlation with energy dissipation performance.
- the energy dissipation performance of a polymer increases with the number of free chain ends.
- the lower the energy dissipation performance of a polymer the lower, for example, the rolling resistance and the better the rebound resilience of the polymer.
- the final properties of a linear polymer having just two chain ends per molecule will always be better than those of a branched polymer.
- step increase in Mooney viscosity and similar expressions such as “step increase in Mooney value", “Mooney jumped” or “Mooney jump” refer to techniques to further enhance the Mooney viscosity of polymers after their polymerization.
- Raising the molecular weight of elastomeric unsaturated diene polymers is important for various reasons. It first of all makes it possible to produce low molecular weight parent polymers, which has the immense advantage in relation to the solution polymerization techniques typically employed of entailing lower viscosities in the "cement" (the solution of the polymer in the organic solvent medium used in the polymerization) and of permitting operation where there is a higher solids content in the "cement", since superior heat transfer is achieved. It is further possible to reduce the cold flow of such diene polymers, thus increasing their capability for oil-extension.
- pre-forming can change the catalytic effect of Nd catalysts.
- Such preformed Nd catalysts deliver polymers having relatively low cold flow, however, pre-forming usually reduces catalyst activity, so in some instances there is a considerable increase in neodymium consumption.
- polydienes having low cold flow are obtainable by treating the diene polymers with disulphur dichloride, sulphur dichloride, thionyl chloride, disulphur dibromide or thionyl bromide after the polymerization (DE-B 12 60 794).
- DE-B 12 60 794 the process for producing elastomeric diene polymers which is described in DE-B 12 60 794 is disadvantageous in that this process is unsuitable for high molecular weight neodymium-catalysed polybutadiene when the Mooney jump is to be not less than 50% higher than the Mooney viscosity of the polymer after the polymerization.
- the problem addressed by the present invention is therefore that of providing high molecular weight neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes (NdBR) capable of delivering vulcanizates having good dynamic final properties for polymers of high molar mass and Mooney viscosity, low rolling resistance, good crack resistance and low abrasion values coupled with good processing properties, for instance a shortened mixing time, versus unmodified NdBRs of the same Mooney viscosity, and a simplified extrudability at an increased strand speed.
- NdBR neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes
- the invention provides neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes (NdBR) comprising > 95 wt% of cis-1 ,4 units and ⁇ 1 wt% of 1 ,2-vinyl content, based on the neodymium- catalysed polybutadiene, which evince a molar mass breakdown of not less than 25%.
- NdBR neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes
- the molar mass breakdown is effected by mixing a masticating agent with the NdBR, measuring the Mooney viscosity (ML 1 +4 at 100°C) of the NdBR before and after the mixing with the masticating agent and determining by calculation the percent change between the Mooney viscosities.
- the NdBR of the invention evinces a molar mass breakdown of not less than 33%, more preferably not less than 50%.
- K Mooney viscosity (ML 1 +4 at 100°C) of NdBR before mixing with masticating agent and, in the case where the polymer is Mooney jump modified, then such Mooney viscosity (ML 1 +4 at 100°C) being subsequent to the modification, and
- L Mooney viscosity (ML 1 +4 at 100°C) of NdBR after mixing with masticating agent.
- molar mass breakdown is of particular importance in the case of natural rubbers. Since natural rubber is difficult to process because of its high molar mass and gel content, processing is usually preceded by an operation known as mastication to intentionally bring about polymer chain cleavage. This breakdown of polymer chains may be effected either mechanically or thermal-oxidatively. The mechanical breakdown of natural rubbers is brought about on roll mills at high friction. The thermal-oxidative breakdown utilizes a series of substances (masticating agents, peptizers) to catalyse the oxidative process of breakdown. 2,2'-Dibenzamidodiphenyl disulphide (DBD) is an efficacious breakdown accelerant, while organic complexes of metal activate the process.
- DBD 2,2'-Dibenzamidodiphenyl disulphide
- the masticating agent comprises a mixture containing iron phthalocyanine and 2,2'- dibenzamidodiphenyl disulphide, waxes and fillers.
- the masticating agent is mixed with the solid NdBR material. Any customary mixing assembly can be used for this, for example rolls, kneaders, mixers or extruders. On a roll is where mixing is typically carried out. Any roll may be selected.
- the ideal choice for analytical proof of concept is a laboratory roll, which is preferably capable of handling polymers from 100 g to 2 kg.
- Roll diameter is preferably between 5 and 30 cm.
- Roll nip is chosen such that the milled sheet produced will be homogeneous.
- Roll nip is preferably between 0.3 and 2 mm, more preferably between 0.4 and 1 mm.
- Roll speed is chosen such that the operator can work efficiently and the milled sheet can be cut and folded over by hand to improve homogenization.
- the roll may be operated with or without friction.
- the amount of masticating mixture used may be between 0.1 and 2 wt% based on the polymer used. Larger amounts of masticating agent may also be added, but this will not result in any further increase in efficacy, while an excess of masticating mixture may further reduce the Mooney viscosity after the treatment.
- the roll may be heated by an external temperature-regulating system to different temperatures. Temperatures between 70°C and 160°C are preferable and between 80°C and 120°C are particularly preferable.
- the ideal roll temperature is easily determined by preliminary tests. It depends on the heat transfer from the roll to the polymer, which in turn depends on the ratio of the roll surface area to the amount of polymer used, and on the activator used.
- Roll temperature is preferably between 90°C and 120°C when iron phthalocyanine, as an activator, is used. Without activator in the masticating mixture, higher temperatures are preferably needed, and they are typically between 100°C and 140°C.
- Treatment duration depends on the temperature of the polymer on the roll and on the activator used in the masticating mixture. Treatment time is typically between 1 min and 30 min and may be determined by preliminary tests. An optimum combination of roll temperature and polymer quantity and amount of masticating mixture can ideally reduce the treatment time to the range from 1 to 10 min.
- the invention further provides a process for producing the neodymium-catalysed polybutadienes (NdBR) of the present invention, wherein
